A fifty cent piece and a nickel equals 55 cents. If it's a riddle stating, "I have two coins that equals 55 cents, and one is not a nickel", the answer is still a fifty cent coin and a nickel. One is not a nickel, but the other one is.
Impossible, because if you were to have a half dollar, you would have to have a nickel. Also if you were to have 2 quarters, it would equal 50 cents, thus, impossible.
A nickel is 5 cents, so 55 nickels = 55*5 = 275 cents, or $2.75
The actual wording of this puzzle is "What two coins equal 55 cents if one of them is not a nickel?"The answer of course is a half dollar and a nickel. The half is the coin that's not a nickel.
